SUMMARY:Sacred Text Reading Group (Saturday)
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Text Reading Group (Saturday)  \n\n\nA twice-weekly onli
 ne sacred text reading group. We meet on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesda
 ys\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome!\n\nUsing a spiritual-pra
 ctice approach\, in each session we will explore a different brief scriptu
 ral text in depth. The aims of the sessions are educational (learning some
 thing about the texts and traditions)\, spiritual/moral (discovering what 
 the texts ask of us)\, and community-building (getting to know each other 
 better). Our practice usually follows this version of Lectio Divina.\n\nTh
 e facilitator will have a version of the text available to share\; “brin
 g” your own if you like. All are welcome\, as are your suggestions of fu
 ture texts. Group members also take turns facilitating\, if they want to t
 ry that role.\n\n\nOur text for Saturday\, April 23 (as it was for the pre
 vious session\, on Wednesday) is the famous passage from John Donne's Medi
 tations XVII\, written in 1623:\n\n\nNo man is an island\, entire of itsel
 f\; every man is a piece of the continent\, a part of the main. If a clod 
 be washed away by the sea\, Europe is the less\, as well as if a promontor
 y were\, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any m
 an's death diminishes me\, because I am involved in mankind\, and therefor
 e never send to know for whom the bell tolls\; it tolls for thee.\n\n\n\nT
 o have check-in time\, or if you are new and would like a brief orientatio
 n\, arrive ten minutes early. And all are welcome to stay ten minutes afte
 r as well\, for more getting-acquainted time.\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n 	Join
